Now, some Facebook users on The Saginaw News and The Bay City Times Facebook pages are arguing Bridge card users should be banned from buying junk food and other "unhealthy" products through the taxpayer-funded program:

From Matt Compton: "Drug tests and strict on what kinds of food people buy.. shouldn't be buying pop and junk food.

"Also back to the pop and junk food thing.. no one should drink pop or eat junk food because then they will be unhealthy and I don't know about anyone else but id rather be a healthy older person and not have to spend my time in a hospital for heart attack or some related problem do to the lack of good foods and excerise."

The debate has brought up numerous issues, including whether putting tighter restrictions on what Bridge card users can buy constitutes segregation of classes:

From John Robinson: "Wow, so just cuz someone is poor you want to
regulate what they eat?? Segregate much? And letting kids starve because
their parents do drugs? OMG (why) don't we just push every struggling
American into a hole and bury them Hitler-Style!"

What do you think? Should Michigan legislators be figuring out better ways to regulate the program? Would stricter regulations on Bridge cards constitute segregation of rich and poor?
